I just recently had a Sachs racing clutch installed to include flywheel. I have major probs with it. Has anyone else had a Sachs clutch installed? Have you had problems? PLease let me know. Thanks

 

what kinda problems?? Just curious.

 

Loud squeeling when engaging in 1st and reverse. The tuner tried to say it was my fault. No way. I have not jumped on the MINI or did any hard high RPM shifting since installation 3 weeks ago. They looked at it twice, replaced the throwout too.

They said they would order another clutch kit...under warranty....but will not arrive here for 2 more weeks. I am embarassed to even drive the MINI cuz it sounds so awful.

 

im guessing its a puck style clutch right?

 

Not sure what "puck" is. It is however a triple plate.

My tuner sez he will ship back the old unit once replaced so Sachs can "determine" the problem. But I am still wondering what the problem could be?

I was given no guideance on the brake in period for this style of clutch.

 

a puck style clutch is what i have, and what randy at webb sells. Its made by UUC. but you have a triple plate, so i have no idea how the break in is on that.

 

I had a Sachs clutch with the same problem. I sent it back to Pro Mini and they refunded my money with no problems .To put it simpley in my case the " fingers " were not bent enough to make proper contact.The clutch was determined to be defective when Pro Mini examined it .
